newbie, what to buy?

[spanish coins]

Hello all, I would like to get in to m/d for relices and coins, also to go to the beaches north of San Francisco if allowed. Was looking at Tesoro ace 250 what do you think?

Welcome Spanish.,,,, Dont think Ace 250 is good for saltwater. If you would post your inquiry in General Discussion or Beachunting you would prpbably get several responses....Good luck......

I meant metal Detecting or Beach and water.........

The ACE 250 is a fine detector for grass and dry sand. It will be unstable in the wet sand where the waves wash ashore. For that area you will need another kind of detector, one with a saltwater mode or a Pulse Induction type.

There is a brick-&-mortor club north of SF, in the Santa Rosa area. Those folks would know about the in's & out's of the beaches up there, which machines work best there, etc...

The Tesoro's are better than the Ace for those conditions however , you will stillhave some difficulty with lower priced detectors in your area. If you need more info please let me know.

I would like to use it on sandy beaches around here. But from what I have been reading the beaches here are off limits.(stinson beach)
So that leaves me the parks and other places. Will give the guy in Santa Rosa a call.
